Though built with highly questionable finances, gangster Michael Thevis' GRC, Aware and Hotlanta labels produced some scintillating mid-70s soul music. Thevis knew his limitations and allowed his producers, arrangers and songwriters free reign as long as they worked hard and came up with good recordings. It was the period in music when Detroit and the south got together, as with Stax and Westbound's Memphis\/Detroit co-productions, and Thevis tried to make that blueprint work for his Atlanta set-up. He brought producer Marlin McNichols and engineer Milan Bogdan down from the Motor City and Floyd Smith from Chicago. Smith came with the highly talented singers Loleatta Holloway and John Edwards, while McNichols brought the Counts, Ripple and Deep Velvet to cut in the spanking brand-new Sound Pit Studios. Songwriter supreme Sam Dees was co-opted from Thevis' Moonsong operation, which he ran out of nearby Birmingham, Alabama, and the resulting sessions produced some exquisite soul songs - several of which charted, making the company hot between 1973 and 1975. Those main acts are here along with artists from the Los Angeles office of the stature of Jimmy Lewis, King Hannibal and Joe Hinton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Boat Ride - Dorothy Norwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Tired of Dreaming - Joe Hinton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Were Right on Time - Ripple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Get to Me - Lee Brackett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's Got to Be the Real Thing - John Edwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Let Me Know - Charlie Thomas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Woke Me Up - Loleatta Holloway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Is That Any Way to Treat a Lady - Jimmy Lewis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Complain to the Clouds (But You Can't\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Change the Weather) - Deep Velvet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fight Fire with Fire - King Hannibal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Ain't for Real - Arthur Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Leaving - Joe Graham\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm a Dreamer - Bobby Burn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Since We Said Goodbye - the Counts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58024158167304,"sku":"029667013512","price":3.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5987\/1240\/files\/4104588-2844231.jpg?v=1781509878","url":"https:\/\/evo-global-2.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-atlanta-soul-artistry-1965-1975-various","provider":"EVO GLOBAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
